Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Chapter 58 The Eve of the Autumn Banquet

On the tenth day of September, a message came from the palace, requiring all the noble girls of the right age in the capital to accompany their mothers to the palace.

When the fold was handed over to Fang Xu, the Houfu was in chaos. Everyone in the house gathered in Chengyuan, everyone looked bad.

Fang Xu sat in the upper seat, lowered his eyes, and his expression showed no emotion or anger.

Xie Changqing's face was livid, his fists were clenched, and veins were pulsing on his forehead, "Mother, did you allow Xie Li to study calligraphy?"

"Otherwise?" Fang Xu said calmly and looked calm.

Xie Changqing gritted his teeth and stood up, slapping the table, "My mother ordered him to study, but to get him to enter the court and become an official?"

"Otherwise?" Fang Xu ignored him and still closed his eyes to rest.

Xie Changqing took a deep breath and said in a very aggressive tone, "When my father was still alive, he had established a rule that only one person in the Houfu was allowed to enter the court as an official. Now that my mother is doing this, does she take my father seriously?"

Fang Xu slowly opened his eyes and stared at him indifferently, "Your father lived a glorious life, but this incident has completely confused him!"

"Xie Li is not a dull person. On the contrary, he is extremely talented. Why can't he be cultivated?"

Hearing his mother praising his younger brother, whom he had always looked down upon, Xie Changqing's face darkened completely, and he raised his voice, "But there are rules in front of you, how can your mother treat him like nothing?"

"Rules are dead, people are alive." Fang Xu closed his eyes and stopped looking at him. He was extremely disgusted with this idiot son and was too lazy to talk to him.

Xie Changqing clenched his fists, his bones cracking as he squeezed them, his eyes widened with anger, "Does mother plan to completely ignore me?"

"Do I take you seriously?" Fang Xu sat quietly like this, with a hint of innocent news hanging on the corner of his mouth, "Are you a fool?"

Xie Changqing was choked. Seeing that he couldn't speak to his mother, he turned his eyes to Xie Li who was aside. There was a threat in his tone, "Second brother, what do you think?"

Xie Li sat at the bottom, with an upright posture. His aqua blue gown made him even more gentle and elegant.

Hearing the profound meaning in Xie Changqing's words, Xie Li raised his eyes and looked directly at him for the first time, with a well-placed smile on his lips, and said word by word, "I will obey my mother's orders."

"You!" Xie Changqing stared angrily, his face flushed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Wow, you, I didn't expect that I was the one who raised the tiger, and kept you so big that you would start to fight with me for things in the future. !”

"Where did you come from with these words, big brother?" Xie Lifeng had narrow eyes and a slight smile on her thin lips, "If big brother is cautious in his words and deeds, down-to-earth, and makes no mistakes first, who can touch him in the slightest?"

Xie Li's voice was a little low-pitched, his tone was flat, but his eyes were extremely aggressive.

Xie Changqing gritted his molar teeth and said in a deep voice with a murderous look in his eyes, "Don't think that I won't dare to touch you because you are the daughter of the Song family. Everything that happens to the Marquis Mansion will not be your turn!"

"So, it is certain that the Marquis Mansion is yours now?" Fang Xu opened his eyes, his gaze fell on Xie Changqing's burly body, and his tone was sarcastic, "These remarks really scared my mistress."

"Otherwise, the prince might as well give me a glass of poisonous wine and send me to see your father so that I can make room for you."

Xie Changqing's face turned pale for a moment, and he suppressed the anger in his heart, "Mother, I didn't mean that."

Fang Xu sneered, lowered his head and fiddled with his skirt, no longer looking at him.

Xie Changqing was ashamed, and subconsciously turned to look at Xie Li, just meeting the latter's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Xie Li curled his lips coolly, and his gaze actually made people feel numb.

Under Xie Changqing's gaze, Xie Li slowly opened his thin lips and silently uttered two words.

"idiot."

Xie Changqing's eyes were about to burst, and he raised his big palm fiercely, "How dare you scold me!"

"Prince!" Bai Ji saw this and hurriedly stopped him. "Master, be careful!" Changfan took two steps forward and stood in front of Xie Li, covering him tightly.

"No problem, just ask him to fight."

Fang Xu spoke quietly, causing everyone in the room to be stunned.

Fang Xu held his chin, looked at Xie Changqing funny, and said softly, "In two days, I will take Xie Li to General Song's mansion."

"General Song is very concerned about his future son-in-law. I am curious. If someone hurts Xie Li, will General Song become angry and seek revenge on him?"

As soon as the words fell, Xie Changqing's hand froze in mid-air.

Fang Xu looked at him with disdain in his eyes.

Xie Changqing felt embarrassed. Even though he was angry, he still had reason.

General Song has elite soldiers and great military exploits. Not only does he not dare to mess with him, but even if he happens to meet him while walking on the road, he doesn't even have the courage to take a look at the general's majesty.

Xie Changqing snorted coldly, leaving only a word of "wait and see" and walked away.

Looking at Xie Changqing's tall back, Liu Fanyin frowned calmly.

Why didn't she think Xie Changqing was so sick before?
What a stupid guy!
I feel sorry for him for so long, it’s really not worth it!

Seeing that the farce in the room was over, Su Zi walked in from the door, holding a wooden fold with both hands, "Madam, the fold came from the palace, saying that there will be an autumn banquet. This evening, all four people in the capital will Noble daughters of officials of higher rank must accompany their mothers to the palace."

Fang Xu paused and looked at Xie Wanzhou subconsciously.

Xie Wanzhou's fingertips trembled, feeling something bad in her heart, and she called softly, "Mother..."

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Fang Xu, who wanted to test her thoughts, instantly gave up his worries.

"You don't have to be afraid. If you don't want to enter the East Palace, no one will dare to force you." Fang Xu comforted him with a soft tone, "With your aunt and me here, you will not suffer any loss."

Xie Wanzhou bit her lower lip and whispered, "Yes."

"I have some grudges with the prince. He is unforgiving. He will definitely make things difficult for you at the banquet. You and I will adapt to each other, do you understand?"

Xie Wanzhou nodded and responded, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter understands."

Fang Xu smiled knowingly, lowered his eyes to look at Su Zi, and whispered, "This is my first time for the young lady to enter the palace. You take Zhu Tao down to prepare."

"Yes." Su Zi leaned over and led Zhu Tao out.

Fang Xu held the teacup, his eyes fell on Xie Li, and he said softly, "The imperial examination is coming soon. Even if you have to work hard, you must also pay attention to rest. There are already black spots under your eyes, so remember to be careful."

"No one requires you to go to high school. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Xie Li smiled and nodded slowly, "Don't worry, mother, my son knows what's going on."

"In a few days, I will take you to General Song's mansion. The gifts and other things are already prepared." Fang Xu smiled calmly, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

"It's settled, I can really be regarded as Miss Song's mother-in-law." Fang Xu raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes fell on Xie Li, and joked.

Xie Li's ears turned red, he lowered his head and said in a soft voice, "It all depends on mother."
